Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I developed C++ code on a daily basis, working on Fusion 360. Daily scrum meetings were a part of my role. This was all done under the guidance of a senior member of team.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
We were given autonomy over our own code. This went through code reviews and things were rectified to be fitted to coding standards. Other than that, we were given a lot of responsibility over ourselves. We didn't have anyone breathing down our shoulders which was lovely.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
We received a lot of support from multiple figures. Autodesk seemed to be especially keen on maintaining their interns' mental health. We were given multiple people we could contact if we ever had concerns/ felt uncomfortable about anyhting. We also received lots of help when we were stuck with a particularly difficult part of our projects, which helped greatly.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The culture was amazing. I didn't think much about it going in but you could really tell that everyone wanted you to be comfortable and happy there. I didn't meet a single person who I disliked there. The atmosphere was very relaxed and chill. I could work and/or socialise however I wanted.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoyed this placement far more than I expected. Admittedly, the bar was low to begin with, but I eventually found this to be a genuinely fun way to spend my summer. The people at Autodesk really made it a fun experience, from our team members, to the managers.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Autodesk to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Autodesk
The interview is more relaxed than you think. The first 2 weeks of training are soul-draining but after that it's a great time. Hanging out with other interns is also very fun.
